Beautiful Shaker Parian Islambad, Pakistan

Shakar Parian Hills are situated near Zero Point, up above the Loke Virsa Museum & Rose & Jasmine Garden. From here you can view the twin cities of Islamabad & Rawalpindi very clearly. Hills have two View Points. East View Point & West View Point.





East View Point:
The older & more visited picnic spot is East View Point where there is a terrace surrounded by a park with a fountain. Jinnah Stadium, Rawal Lake & neighboring hills of Margalla and Murree can be easily viewd from here.

There is a small garden of Pine Trees near the terrace. Speciality of this garden is that all trees have been planted by country heads (Kings/Presidents/Prime Ministers) of friend countries. It is a tradition that whenever a foriegn president or prime minister visits pakistan he/she plants a tree at Shakar Parian which is a symbol of friendship between the countries.





There is a monument/foundation memerial on East View point where Islamabad City's Master Plan was approved by that time's President His Excelency Mr. Ayub Khan in 24 May 1960.



West View Point:
Pakistan Monument is built on West View Point. Also you can view Islamabad's sky line from West View Point.
